MACKAY AND FLOOD.
The Former Says He Has Not Lost Much
Money, and the Latter Denies He Is Ill.
pecial to the Indianapolis JournaI.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 2L-John W.
Mackny's return to this city was the cue for all
sorts of stories regarding him and his interests
TO be set afoat. 1t has been generally asserted
that he lost heavily by the collapse of the wheat
corner, and. though he has strenuously den led
this every time it broached to him, many
believe he Is poorer man to-day than before
the wheat deal assumed it's present shape
Shortly after his arrival G rumcr in mining cir
eles stated that ne intended engineering a stock
deal to recover his alleged losses in wheat, but
up to the present time the deal has shown no
symptoms OF existence. Another rumor. which
was, however, quickly and emphaticaly denied,
was that new blood to be brought into the
Nevada Bank by selling an interest in 1t 20 two
prominent capitalists of this city. This Is now
known to be unfounded.
Finding Mr.. Mackay apparently iupregnable.
Dame Rumor shifted her ground to his partner,
j. g. Flood, and reported him seriously i'll. The
last report concerning Mr. Flood was to the ef
feet that an operation was performed on him
tnga caused by kidney complaints, by which he
Is alleged to be confined to his house. His son,
James L., denies all reports of his fathers seri-
illness, and states that he is only affected
with eye trouble. Yesterday he said regarding
his fathers condition: "My father is steadily
Improving. He ont carriage riding last
evening, drove all around Menlo Park, and en-
ioyed 1t very much. He says that in view of
she reports circulating about his poor health, he
is going to San Francisco early next week to
show the people he is not the sick man he has
been reported to be. All stories and reports that
his health is now failing untrue"
Mr.. Mackay's lines have not been oil unpleas-
ant since his return to the Pacific coast. Short
ly after his arrival he was advised that the
French government had conferred upon him one
of the most distinguished honors within its
power to grant by making him officer of the
Legion of Honor. At the same time he received
decorations of Office consisting of red rosette
and diamond CROSS He thus honored for
services in placing France in direct telegraphic
communication with the new world by making
Envre the terminus of his Atlantic cable.

Promise Half Century Old.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 21.-An oldfashiened

fashioned steel-coored straight bonnet peeped
pretty silver curls. They went straight to

were about one hundred and forty present. A
prominent candidate a comrade named
Butts now a clerk in the Pension Office, and
strong supporter of General Black for
commander-in chief. When the vote
was announced Butts found
to have been elected by about thirty
majority. The vote excited surprise. and led to
the polling OF those present This developed
the sensational fact that there had been abou t
thirty five more votes cast than there
comrades present. This led to q scene and the
council adjourned in great excitement, postpon-
ing the election of delegates to a subsequent
meeting At this adjourned meeting Butts
defeated by a decided vote. Butts is New
York man, and is credited with working up the
Brooklyn reception to General Black. These
meetings were both secret, and generally the
crets of the Grand Army meetings well
kept, but the present case was of such an extra
ordinary character that finally the indignation
over it inside the circles has caused it to reach
the public.

THE HENDRICKS FUND.

1t Grows Rapidly, Because Republicans Are
Practically Forced to Contribute.
Washing ngton Special to Cleveland Leader.
A collection is being taken up in the different
departments for the purpose of getting up fund
to erect monument to the memory of Thomas
A. Hendricks. The paper for the necessary
subscriptions is presented to Republican clerks
without fail, and should such a one decline to
respond he feels himself a marked man for the
future. 1t is rule of the departments that no
subscriptions solicitation of money for any pur-
pose shall be allowed. and when an effort was
made to get funds pay the expenses of dec
orauon exercises some three months ago the
movement sat down upon and those who
were expected to have contributed, from the
fact that they were always regarded as sta nch
Republicans, felt that to put down their names
on the list of subscribers would furnish cause
for their dismissal whenever their superiors felt
inclined to want vacancy in the bureau. The
Hendricks fund is growing rapidly, simply be-
cause clerks feel that they must ri We something

that he belonged to bad party; besides had he

ASSAILING THE ROMAN CHURCH.
Sensation Among Baltimore Catholics, Caused
by the Rev. Mr.. Whart0n's Sermons.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BALTIMORE Md, Aug. 2l.-Several Sundays
ago the Rev. Fl. NJ. Wharton, pastor of Brantly
Baptist Oh urch, began the delivery of a series
of sermons against the Catholic Church. in
which the Pope and priesthood are severely
handled and veritably makes out the Catholic
Church to be monument of sin. The sermons
have been published by the local papers, and
have excited considerable discussion The
Catholic Mirror has taken up the fight, and
berates Mr.. Wharton roundly, accusing him of
entering crusade against Rome. Prom
inent members of the Catholic
laity have written and published
defenses Of the church against Mr.. Whartops
attacks. and Cardinal Gibbons indirectly re-
ferred to them last Sunday in a sermon at St
Joseph's Monastery. Still, Mr.. Wharton con-
tinues his sermons against the papacy. and to-
day his topic in the pulpit was THE Pope and
the Gospel" The preacher made a proposition
that the Pope is sinful. imperfect and fallible;
the gospel is pure. perfect and infallible. and
quoted largely from Cardinal Giobonss work,
'sThe Faith of Our Fathers" TO prove it. He
ridiculed the claim by the Pope of the right to
interpret tae Bible for all Catholics Cardinal
Gibbons claims said Mr. Wharton, ''that the
church is the dIvineiy appointed custodian and
interpreter of the Bible. For her the Office of
infallole guide were superfuous. if each indi-
vidual could interpret the Bible for himself.
That means that no man can have any opinions
about the Scriptures for himself, and, lest he
should have Il thought contrary to the lnterpre-
tation of the Pope, he will be the safe side to
avoid reading the Bible altogether"

A BOURBON BOYCOTT.

Virginia Democrats Who Do Not Like Ex-
Confederates Who Are Now Republicans.
Washington Special.
Among Virginia Bourbons there Is much feel
ing because of a rumor that Gener al Malone
was to be invited to participate with other ex-
confederates in the coming dedication of the
Lee monument grounds. They don't want him
present. It is true, and they are aware of the
fact, that he was one of the most dashing officers
in the whole confederate army and his
command captured Union flags
than any other throughout the South,
but that makes no difference at the present
time Malone has become a Republican, and
as such he is garded by the Bourbon

Virginia Bourbon cannot tolerate any one who

which Malone is being treated in the present

DEFECT IN THE POSTAL TREATY.

Need of a Money-Order system Between the
United States aud Mexico.
Washington special
The provisions of the new postal treaty with
Mexico. which permit the transmission of mer-
chandise in the mails in four-pound-six-ounce
packages, have given much satisfaction in that
country. but it has been reported to Post
Office Department that there is one serious diff

between the United States and Mexico 1t is
believed that the subject will be considered upon
the return to this country of Mr. Romero, the
Mexican minister, who has gone to Europe for
few months for his health. The Postofica
Department of the United States has the power
to establish a money-order system with Mexico
without further action of Congress; but the
Postofice Department of Mexico has not this
authority. The Mexican Congress will convene
in September for two months, and will again
meet in April But in the history of interna-
tional money-order conventions, it is fact that
the establishment of a domestic money order
system has preceded a similar exchange
with foreign countries. And Mexico has
not yet a domestic money order system;
that it is hardly expected thet such a system
can be established between the United States

PENSION PAYMENTS.
A Movement Looking to Monthly Instead of
Quarterly Settlements.

"A Movement Looking to Monthly Instead of
Quarterly Settlements.
Special to the indianapolis journal
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 21.-The Sunday Herald
says: "a movement is being made all along the
line in Grand Army circles TO have the existing
system of pension payments changed so to have
them made monthly instead of quarterly. The
argument in favor of this change is based upon
the assumption that it would be more convenient
for the pensioners to receive their money from
the government their monthly bills become
due. The pensioner who receives $S month
and lives in rooms, or in house rented for that
sum, would gladly devote it TO the payment
